1 Relationship between s-plane and z-plane
In the analysis and design of continuous time control systems, the pole-zero con?guration of the
transfer function in s-plane is often referred. We know that:
• Left half of s-plane? Stable region.
• Right half of s-plane? Unstable region.

function poles should preferably be located.
Similarly the poles and zeros of a transfer function in z-domain govern the performance
characteristics of a digital system.

with intervals of±mw

with m = 0,1,2,....., in the s-plane where w
s
is the sampling frequency
in rad/sec.
If the primary strip is considered, the path, as shown in Figure 1, will be mapped into a
unit circle in the z-plane, centered at the origin. The mapping is shown in Figure 2.

1.2 Constant damping loci, constant frequency loci and constant

Constant damping loci: The real part s of a pole, s = s + jw, of a transfer function in
s-domain, determines the damping factor which represents the rate of rise or decay of time
response of the system.
• Large s represents small time constant and thus a faster decay or rise and vice versa.
• The loci in the left half s-plane (vertical line parallel to jw axis as in Figure 3(a)) denote
positive damping since the system is stable
• The loci in the right half s-plane denote negative damping.
• Constant damping loci in the z-plane are concentric circles with the center at z = 0, as
shown in Figure 3(b).
• Negative damping loci map to circles with radii > 1 and positive damping loci map to
circles with radii < 1.

FAQs on Relationship between s-plane and z-plane - Electrical Engineering (EE)

1. What is the relationship between s-plane and z-plane in electrical engineering?
Ans. The s-plane and z-plane are two common domains used in electrical engineering to analyze and design systems. The s-plane is used to represent continuous-time signals and systems, while the z-plane is used to represent discrete-time signals and systems. The relationship between the two domains is given by the z-transform, which maps a discrete-time signal in the z-plane to a continuous-time signal in the s-plane.
2. How are poles and zeros represented in the s-plane and z-plane?
Ans. Poles and zeros are key concepts in signal and system theory, and they can be represented in both the s-plane and z-plane. In the s-plane, poles and zeros are represented as points on the complex plane, where poles are represented by x's and zeros are represented by o's. In the z-plane, poles and zeros are represented as points inside or outside the unit circle, where poles are represented by x's and zeros are represented by o's.
3. What is the significance of the unit circle in the z-plane?
Ans. The unit circle is a key feature of the z-plane, and it represents the frequency response of a discrete-time system. Points inside the unit circle correspond to stable systems with bounded input and output, while points outside the unit circle correspond to unstable systems with unbounded input and output. The unit circle also provides a way to convert between the time domain and frequency domain using the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT).
4. What are some common applications of the z-transform in electrical engineering?
Ans. The z-transform is a powerful tool for analyzing and designing discrete-time systems in electrical engineering. Some common applications include digital signal processing, control systems, communication systems, and image processing. The z-transform can be used to analyze the stability and performance of a system, design filters and controllers, and simulate the behavior of a system.
5. How does the sampling rate affect the relationship between the s-plane and z-plane?
Ans. The sampling rate is a key parameter in the relationship between the s-plane and z-plane, as it determines how frequently a continuous-time signal is sampled to create a discrete-time signal. A higher sampling rate will result in a closer approximation of the continuous-time signal in the z-plane, while a lower sampling rate will result in a coarser approximation. The choice of sampling rate depends on the specific application and the desired trade-off between accuracy and complexity.
